When I was little, I heard people insulting each other with the word gay.

Well, we all heard it, didn't we? I didn't get it, though. I thought that they meant "happy". I was *really* out of touch with mainstream society at that age, and read a lot of old books :) When I finally, finally figured out what they meant, I still didn't get it. I mean, why would anybody even care?

I still think that. And it irks me. I wish I could say I'm nice and tolerant and all, but that's just not true. I'm not nice, or tolerant, or open-minded, or any of it. I just don't care. Sure, I want you to be happy, in a vague sense, and if I know you I actually *do* want you to be happy - but I'm not being tolerant of you! I really don't care what you do! I don't care what you believe, either, so long as you aren't harming me, or unhappy with it. It'd be great to be able to talk about how wonderfully open-minded I am about people's beliefs, but I can't do that because I just don't care! I'm vaguely interested in religion, it's an off-and-on passion of mine (admittedly, most of this passion died when I realized that the Greek and Norse gods probably didn't exist....), but... yeah, not caring. So, I don't care who you fuck, and I don't care how you pray, and I don't especially care what you eat... I wish there was something I *did* care about, just so I could be tolerant.

Pretty silly rantling, huh? Lub ya all dearly. *hugs everyone and hands out kittens*

Aw, how sweet...

I feel bad that I laid into her like that, but the last thing I want is for people to be annoyed at seeing "Join book_icons!" all over their friends page. That's counterproductive, and why I keep my promotions low-key (mostly along the lines of "ooh, cool icons, mind crossposting?", which everybody likes and nobody seems to mind).

I really do applaud her for caging her stuff instead of the baby, but *grins* that doesn't keep me from thinking it looks silly :)
